24. A set of old stamps

It is indeed a poor mountain and a bad water that comes out of the people. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The word 'Ching-Chong' is discriminatory against Chinese people, and Americans do not understand Chinese, especially a century or two ago, when many Chinese immigrants came from the Fu and Guangzhou areas.

These people speak Cantonese, and to Americans, the sounds they hear are, ling, and long, so they use this to refer to Chinese and even all yellow people.

By extension, this term later became very insulting and discriminatory, and according to U.S. law, if insulted in public, a yellow person can be prosecuted for the crime of 'racial discrimination'.

Li Du clenched his fists, and Hans rushed forward with an arrow, pointing at the big man and shouting: "Nigger, shut your filthy dog's mouth! Did you eat dog shit this morning? Why does it stink so much? Do you usually kiss your child with such a stinky mouth?"

Hans was ruthless enough to snatch white, and the black man was furious, stretched out his hand and pushed him, and said, "White guy, are you stepping on a horse to find death? Do you know whose territory this is?"

Hans lifted his shirt to reveal his saber underneath and said contemptuously, "My knife says this is its territory!"

Half of the people around gathered around, and one of the white men in sunglasses said, "Do you two standard people want to cause trouble?

Unlike the people in Flagpole City and Phoenix City, the people here are much more fierce, and they will do it when they say it, and someone will do it after the white man says it.

"Time slows down. Li Du quickly silently recited this sentence in his heart, and the speed of these people's hands suddenly became like a snail crawling.

He took off the white man's sunglasses, the cigarette in the black man's mouth, and the man's bracelet quickly.

Time returned to normal, Li Du held back the exhaustion that came out of his body, threw these things on the ground one by one with a gloomy face, and then said coldly: "It's easier for me to cut off your eyes, pull out your tongues, and kick your balls than to take these away!"

This shot was shocking enough, and the group was stunned, and someone was frightened: "My God, is he Flash or Quicksilver?!"

The white man swallowed and said, "Damn yellow bitch-......"

"Red-neck, take care of your stinky mouth, don't let it get into trouble, okay?" Li Du interrupted him viciously.

Red-neck, which literally means red neck, can actually be translated as big and coarse, but not so urbane, and it is used to disdain the common words used by white people.

Because of skin color and physique, Caucasians who used to do heavy work needed to be exposed to the wind and sun, and often their blood and qi surged, which often caused the skin around the neck to become red, so the word was born.

Funnily enough, the term was coined by white infighting, and was generally used by aristocratic whites and wealthy people to despise the white coolies at the bottom.

Someone reacted immediately and said to Hans, "Your buddy scolded you too." ”

Hans raised his head proudly and said: "Lao Tzu's monthly income is already 20,000 yuan, understand? Lao Tzu is not a rough worker, Lao Tzu is the boss, you are the Red-neck!"

The constant scolding made the anger of both sides rise, but Li Du had previously taken action to deter these people, so no one dared to do anything just by scolding.

Later, other outsiders arrived, and these people shifted their focus to find trouble with these people.

From half past eight to half past nine, when the auction began, there were two fights within an hour, and at least ten people were ejected by security guards.

Li Du and Hans crouched in the corner with hot coffee and watched the excitement, anyway, the fewer competitors the better for them.

However, thinking that there was nothing of value in these warehouses, Mr. Li was a little frustrated.

At half past nine, the auction began, and this time the auctioneer finally spoke at a normal pace: "Very good everyone, everyone line up and prepare to enter the warehouse, there are a total of nine warehouses to be auctioned today, prepare the money in your hand, go and dig your treasure!"

There are no good things in the small place, and the warehouse is not worth much, the first warehouse started at $50, and two people symbolically competed for it, and finally sold for $80.

The transaction price of the second warehouse is also very low, Li Du did not let Hans quote, there are only two old-fashioned TVs in this warehouse, which is not bad, but this kind of big-bellied TV has long been eliminated and has no value.

The transaction price of the third warehouse is 100 yuan, and the fourth warehouse is No. 56.

There are some good things in this warehouse, Li Du raised his eyebrows at Hans, and said, "If you take this, you will have to earn less than five hundred yuan." ”

He couldn't show that he was too interested, so he walked to the next warehouse, No. 58, and pretended to wander around.

With nothing to do, he put the worm in the warehouse to see if he could get anything out of it.

He had seen this warehouse before, and it was empty only with two bookshelves attached to the wall, and he needed to look through all the warehouses as soon as possible to find something valuable, so he didn't look closely at this warehouse.

There were a few books, newspapers and magazines on the shelves, very ordinary things, which could not be sold for a high price, so he shook his head and prepared to withdraw the little worm.

But just as the worm was about to jump down through the bookshelf, something flickered through the gap between the planks of the bookshelf.

Out of an abundance of caution, he asked the worm to crawl back and take a closer look.

The bookshelves are of the old-fashioned kind of wooden panels, with gaps between the boards, and in one of the gaps are some small stamps, indeed some stamps.

But he can't say how much these stamps are worth, because they are full of American stamps, and they are covered with sports stars such as basketball god Michael Jordan, boxing champion Ali and long-distance runner Lewis.

He was looking at the stamps, but his phone vibrate, and he saw that it was Hans calling, and quietly went back to listen to the quotation from the warehouse.

It doesn't matter if you don't listen to it, I was shocked when I heard it, and the price climbed to 800 yuan.

The local treasure pickers have been following Hans's offer, putting on a posture of never retreating, several people have made bids one after another, and some people even said: "Foreigners, don't want to take a cargo from our Havasu!"

When the price reached 1,000 yuan, Li Du shook his head, there was no value at this price, the two balance bikes were damaged, and the computers were old-fashioned notebooks.

Seeing his hint, Hans immediately stopped quoting, so that the white man in sunglasses who had almost fought with them before took the warehouse at a price of 1,100 yuan.

When they arrived at Warehouse 58, everyone shook their heads and left, this warehouse was so clean, the only valuable thing was the two bookshelves and some books on it.

The treasure pickers are shrewd and sharp-eyed, and when they shine a flashlight at a book, they know that it is not a valuable book.

The United States is not very old, so there are not many antique books, cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and ordinary books and newspapers are worthless.

The auctioneer also knew this, so he raised his hand and said, "The auction of warehouse 58 has begun, and the starting price is - how about 50 yuan?"

Li Du frowned, there were only a few stamps in it that were not worth the value, and it was difficult to say whether they were worth fifty yuan.

He hesitated, and the others simply gave up the offer.

Seeing this, the auctioneer said, "Is there no one for 50 yuan? What about 10 yuan?"

Most people still shook their heads, and the auctioneer held up a finger and said, "Then the last offer, a dollar!
